If you’re looking for a weekend getaway near Jaipur or searching for a serene eco-farm stay in Rajasthan, Aranyavas welcomes you with open arms and open skies.
Where is Ghatwada and Why It’s Special
Ghatwada is a quaint village just about 90 km from Jaipur, surrounded by the Aravalli hills, lush fields, and whispering winds. It’s the kind of place where you feel that time gets slowed down, where the early morning mist dances over green farms, and village life flows in harmony with nature.
For those living in Delhi, Gurgaon, or Jaipur, this hidden gem is a perfect weekend getaway — offbeat, untouched, and deeply rooted in Rajasthani culture. Ghatwada lets you experience the real rural Rajasthan – not the tourist trails, but the soulful countryside.
Aranyavas Nature Retreat – A Farmstay Like No Other
Aranyavas isn’t just a farm stay — it’s a philosophy of slow living.
Designed around the principles of sustainable life, the retreat is built using local materials, powered partially by solar energy, and maintained by community support. The idea is simple: live in tune with the rhythms of the land, respect nature, and reconnect with simplicity.
Unlike commercial resorts, Aranyavas doesn’t try to impress with luxury. Instead, it inspires peace with its earthy charm, its mud cottages, the twittering of birds instead of horns, and an invitation to rediscover yourself.
